China's peaceful rise

"China's peaceful rise" (simplified Chinese:中国和平崛起; traditional Chinese:中國和平崛起; pinyin:Zhōngguó hépíng juéqǐ) or sometimes referred to as China’s “peaceful development” was an official policy in China under the leadership of Hu Jintao.
The term was implemented to rebut against the “China threat theory” As China emerged as a great political, economic and military power, China wanted to assure other countries that its rise will not be a threat to peace and security. China implements this policy by internally harmonizing China’s society and externally, promoting a peaceful international environment. It seeks to characterize China as a responsible world leader, emphasizes soft power, and vows that China is committed to its own internal issues and improving the welfare of its own people before interfering with world affairs. The term suggests that China seeks to avoid unnecessary international confrontation.

The term proved controversial because the word 'rise' could fuel perceptions that China is a threat to the established order, so since 2004 the term China's peaceful development (simplified Chinese:中国和平发展; traditional Chinese:中國和平發展; pinyin:Zhōngguó hépíng fāzhǎn) has been used by the Chinese leadership.

China Southern Airlines was established on 1 July 1988 following the restructuring of the Civil Aviation Administration of China. Since then, it acquired and merged with a number of domestic airlines, becoming one of China's "Big Three" airlines (alongside Air China and China Eastern Airlines). China Southern Airlines is a member of SkyTeam. The airlines's logo is a red kapok flower on a blue vertical tail fin.

At around 21:20, a group of eight knife-wielding men and women attacked passengers at the city's railway station. Both male and female attackers pulled out long-bladed knives and stabbed and slashed passengers. At the scene, police killed four assailants and captured one injured female. In the afternoon of 3 March, police announced that the six-man two-woman group had been neutralized after the arrest of three remaining suspects.

No group or individual stepped forward to claim responsibility for the attack.Xinhua News Agency announced within hours of the incident that it was carried out by Xinjiang separatist terrorists, while Time and The New York Times reported that UyghurMuslims were involved in the attack. The government of Kunming also said the attack had been linked to Xinjiang militants. Police said they had confiscated a black, hand-painted East Turkestan flag at the scene.
